Police crack down on students smoking at Bay City Central 

On the first day of school, Bay City Central High School's police liaison officer wrote 11 tickets to underage students who were smoking cigarettes.

Since then a total of at least 25 tickets have been written, said Darren Smithers of the Bay City Police Department.

''I catch them all over,'' said Smithers, who started as the school officer last year.

Sometimes they're behind The Bay City Players building at 1214 Columbus Ave., sometimes they're in ''Smokers' Alley'' on Hampton Street near 10th, sometimes they're sitting in their cars, and sometimes they're just walking down the sidewalk, he said.
